| I decided to rescue this horse from my daughters shed ...... |
 |
| paint her.... |
 |
| and bling her up!! |
 |
| Look at her little face with all the pen marks on it....made by my little angel grand daughter! |
 |
| I used a snow fake to cover the hole where a pole ran thru her for the rider to put her feet on. I also added some snow flakes to her hooves....or is it hoofs? |
 |
| I painted her saddle to match the Christmas theme where she will be displayed this year. |
 |
| H had to take the lamp fixture off as it was in really bad shape...he painted her body white, and also the gold pole. I did all the detail painting....it was a team effort! |
| This is a photo of a horse that is similar to mine that I got of the internet. |
Hello, I love carousel horses! I have a Pinterest page of them. I love what you did with this! They just make me all happy inside, do you collect them? I have a carousel horse lamp and am about to redo her, as well. Thanks for sharing it, I love it!

You make such pretty horses. I collect carousel horses. Many years ago my son found one made from a kids riding horse at the curbside. It was all painted and detailed and had plastic jewels and in pretty good condition except the pole had to be tightened. I still have it and it is one of my favorite horses. Take care, Darlene
ReplyDeleteHow fun--my brother in law made one of these once :)
ReplyDeleteoh my gosh how wonderful! I would never have imagined such a transformation! I love it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a very creative and beautiful transformation. Hugs Judy
